Its sort of a slow morning here in the Decatur Metro newsroom, so I’ve decided to throw out a question that popped into my head a couple days ago.

Most of us are aware of musicians Michael Stipe and Emily Saliers, along with humorist Roy Blunt Jr.’s Decatur-tie, while others know that poet and good friend to Edgar Allen Poe, Thomas Holley Chivers, is buried in Decatur Cemetery.  A few others might also be aware that Julia Roberts spent some time here as a child.

But all of those folks have either passed on or moved on to other places.  So who is Decatur’s most famous current resident?

I’ll start things off by throwing Ryan Gainey’s name out there.
